Brando Solar Mosquito Repeller Doesn’t Work as Advertised (Wha-?!?!)

Gadget blog alumnus Colbert Low features the Brando Solar Mosquito Repeller, detailing how it doesn’t work:
I’ve been using the Brando Solar Mosquito Repeller for a week and it does not work. I normally leave it in my bedroom while opening the window. I thought this will make the Mosquitoes fly out the window but it does not work. The high pitch sound it makes does not irritate the Mosquitoes and they still stay in the room.
Take that as a warning not to spend $14 on a non-functional gadget folks! With all due respect, any mosquito gadget repeller should be able to work over a range of 1-2 meters, more than proposed by Mr. Low.
Yea well, I know its the mating season for mosquitoes but in the end, I will need to get rid of them. I’m calling in the pest control soon
Lol, have you tried mosquito coils? Although they have their risks…
Are you expecting the unit to work over a longer distance than advertised? DOES it work within the distance advertised? In a more natural setting, outdoors, will it keep mosquitoes from landing on your body?
Thanks
